Description

The small, aromatic fruits of this Italian tomato form luscious bunches. In Naples, the bunches are tied together and eaten both cooked and fresh. And the best thing about it: if the bunches are hung in a cool, well-ventilated place, they can be stored for several months. So you can have your own fresh tomatoes in January!

F1 Hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Sow at the beginning of March in a warm place in seed trays. Prick out young plants into pots when they are approx. 5 cm high. Plant out from May 20th at a distance of 80x80 cm. Tie to stakes or strings and break out a few side shoots. A rain cover is recommended. Mixed cultivation tip: basil and parsley. This variety is susceptible to blossom end rot; calcium-rich fertilization and good watering are recommended.
